2. An Instagrammer’s dream

The Grand Ferdinand in the Austrian capital of Vienna boasts a claw-footed, stand-alone tub to envy.

Complemented by dusty blue interiors, terrazzo flooring, marble benching, rose gold detailing and retro glass bricks, the bathroom as a whole makes for a perfectly balanced space and an even better shot, and will surely rake in the likes on social media.

If, like us, you love this interior blend, why not try recreating it in your own home?

6. A Tuscan retreat

Nothing says luxe quite like a chandelier. Add a bubble bath, a warm summer breeze and views over the Tuscan hills to the mix and you’ve got a whole new level of elegance and opulence.

Follow in Tuscany’s Relais Borgo Santo Pietro’s footsteps and consider installing a chandelier above your tub at home. You’ll feel like you’re on an Italian holiday year-round, though don’t be surprised if you never want to hop out.

7. A harbour haven

Outdoor tubs are stunning in their own right, but unseasonably warm or cold days – and the question of privacy – can often deter people from wanting to include them in their own homes.

This rounded tub at The Sebel Pier One in Sydney Harbour offers the best of both worlds with a nifty sliding door solution. Those hoping to take in the full extent of the view are able to even when the balcony doors are shut, while those who love a breeze can open up the doors to the elements.
